On a side note, I’d like to pay tribute to Queen of Comedy Phyllis Diller who passed away one week ago today. Her unparalleled humor leaves an indelible mark on our memories. May she continue to inspire us.

On another side note, I’d like to thank the following bloggers for nominating me for: the Lovely Blog Award, Kreativ Blogger Award, Liebster Award, Illuminating Blogger Award. Please check out their blogs!

I am a mason so will be cremated. I want my ashes cast over a bridge in North Miami and have instructed daughter to make sure wind at her back. I don’t want blow back to street and get run over and killed again.

Loved it. Didn’t know you were a poet too.
My husband and I have talked about writing out a will that our bodies be flown back to India when we die but never have we actually written that will. Maybe I can write it down on my blog ; maybe my friends will see it and remember it if not my hubby. For now, had a thorough laugh over such a morbid topic. Awesome!

I appreciate your positive feedback, Prachi. My poet friends inspired me to take a stab at poetry. (Pun intended) 🙂 I think it’s wise that you and your husband have discussed your wills. I find it interesting how our last wishes are often tied to our culture, values and beliefs.

I always tell the Little Woman, cremate me, put me in an old Walmart bag and dump me next to those old hunting dogs on the corner. That’s why they call it “remains”. Also, you sure know how to perk me up. 🙂

She was an accomplished woman. I only recently learned the extent of her successful career–which she achieved while raising lots of kids! She was a remarkably hard working and talented woman. Thanks for your nice comment, mj.

I love your poem, Lisa, and share your sentiments. I’ve told my hubby that, when I go, I want it to be like the movie, “Weekend at Bernie’s.” Just stand me up in the corner with a drink in my hand … and throw me an old-fashioned Irish wake. No tears. Just a lot of celebrating. I’d also like a ticker-tape parade. (He’s awfully quiet. I’m assuming he’s busy working on this as we speak.) 🙂

Timely! I spent my whole labor day weekend thinking of final resting places, burial plots, final wishes and the like. I just said this to my husband, it kinda seems like a waste to spend money on the box when I could just let you blow away.

Ah, great minds think alike. Although my mind is goyish by birth, so I’m just aiming to eventually be ashes tossed in an iris bed, I do share your delightfully expressed wish to see the riches enjoyed by the living rather than wasted on those who have, literally, no earthly use for them anymore! L’Chaim!

As a mason I will be cremated. I want my ashes cast into the bay at the Broad Causeway bridge (north side)which links North Miami to Miami Beach. I have instructed my daughter to make sure the wind is at her back so my ashes do not blow back and get run over by the cars and I get killed again.
